2.3.1

[LorenDB]

TimeLight 2.3.1 is now ready to go. Despite the large changelog, this is a point release since the number of new things added was actually fairly low.

The major highlights (excluding the customary tiny fixes and fixes to new features):

Features

• It is now easy to create consecutive entries with the same project, but only if you change a setting first to stop duplicate entry prevention.
• TimeLight is now scanned by CodeQL on GitHub Actions.
• If TimeLight crashes, it will automatically dump a stacktrace if possible.

Changes

• You can now start the project you have set as break time from the quick start menu.
• Some of the settings now have explanatory tooltips.
• Logging is now done through spdlog instead of through std::cout and std::cerr.
  • Log files can be accessed in the App Settings page.
• Extra logging has been added at a trace level to help trace the source of future bugs (pun intended).
• The keyboard shortcut to enable devtools can now also be used to disable it.

Fixes

• TimeLight now will not use invalid projects in certain situations.
• The Qt app version is now set.
• Command-line parameters will now survive in-app reboots.
• A typoed function call was fixed (setCornerWidget -> setCurrentWidget).
• Fixed a way that TimeLight could have crashed due to use-after-free.
• Microsoft Graph tokens are now refreshed slightly less often when possible.
• Ratelimited connections are now subjected to exponential backoff.
• A large amount of duplicated code was consolidated.
• If the internet connection goes down and comes back up, TimeLight will now detect that it came back up instead of staying offline.
